Oh goodness. I feel like I'm already such a mess. I'm already packing for Senegal. I don't leave for 2 more months, I know I'm crazy. I've justified my premature packing issue though (that sounds quite sexual). It's so then I can box up all my summer clothes--cause I sure as hell wont be wearing any of it in the next two months. Damn you winter.
I have no clue what I'm packing but I'm combining lists I've been finding online of what others packed and what they wished they would have packed. Actually--I say I'm doing that, but I'm just shoving things in a bag that I wanna take. hahah! Then I'll check the lists.
Anyways I think I'm getting kind of stressed with packing because I'm finding all of my summer clothes, but they're not as "conservative" as they probably should be. I heard we shouldn't take tank tops, but I'm reading on others blogs that it's not a problem to wear tank tops in Senegal. I'm also nervous about the tank tops that will show my back tattoo. I feel like because it's in Arabic some people might get offended. Of course I'm thinking way too into this.
List of my questions:
What is considered inappropriate attire for women?
Spaghetti strapped tanks yay-or nay?
What kind of clothing is considered "professional"?
Will my tattoos be a problem?
Has anyone had any problems with their contacts? I know they recommend wearing glasses instead of contacts.
How hard is the language test you take after training? (I'm nervous about my French being up to par)
After training do all the volunteers live with host families?
Any advice, recommendations, favors, etc?
